Customer Question

Hello, I am total disabled. I am honorably discharged from USAF. I live in Madison County NC. I am behind on county taxes and being told that a lien is going to be placed on my primary morgaged home. Will you PLEASE help? Thank You For Your Time Dennis Shelton

Thank you for the additional information Dennis. I am sorry to hear of your dilemma. I realize how frustrating this is for you, but I believe I have information which you will find helpful.

It is important that you be proactive in this matter. I strongly suggest that you contact your lender. A tax sale and subsequent deed will wipe out their interest as well as yours. They should be willing to work with you to pay the overdue taxes. They may want to set up a tax escrow, but they should be willing to work with you to modify the loan so that you can dig out from the hole.

This can be accomplished by extending the term of the loan or making interest only payments for a certain period.

It is my privilege to assist you. Let me know if you need further information. I hope I have helped you beyond your expectations in the service I have provided to you. I am here for you.

Since this forum is no substitute for your own legal counsel, be sure to verify the information I have provided with a local attorney who is familiar with your local laws and procedures.

I am happy to answer your follow-up questions and assist you until I am able to explain the answer to your satisfaction.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.
